Clarity begins with understanding the basic breakdown of a painting. It means learning to truly see your work — to be aware of your composition and the relationships within it. It requires adjusting to color, recognizing its subtle nuances of intensity. By observing the harmony of color, you can build upon it with excitement and intention.

Participants will learn the process of breaking things apart and putting the puzzle back together — leaving some elements out while adding new shapes, values, and colors. It is through this process of subtraction and addition that a painting finds its strength and clarity.

Maximum 12 students

As a part of the first class participants will learn about tones, setting up a palette and how to see nature in a different light.  Students will take home a finished painting.
